Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Lost Life

The lost life Wu Xiaotian was in a good mood on the way home. He held the steering wheel with his left hand and pressed his right hand on Chen Qiudi's thigh. He smiled and said to her, "You performed very well in front of them today, and you did not disappoint me. .” Chen Qiudi said, “You didn’t disappoint me either.” Wu Xiaotian understood that she was referring to the fact that he was not close to He Ru, so he smiled and said: "You and He Ru are so intimate today, when she asked you not to drink at first, I thought she already knew that you were pregnant .” Chen Qiudi said: "She indeed already knew. I told He Ru in a fit of anger when they sent you back after you drank too much last time."

When Wu Xiaotian heard this, he suddenly lost his mind and the car tugged.He said: "You are so confused! Why do you tell her this kind of thing?!" Chen Qiudi said unhappily: "So what? I knew you would feel embarrassed. In fact, I have already thought about it these two days. I want to get rid of the child." Wu Xiaotian was a little surprised, and said hesitantly, "You don't have a whim, do you?" Chen Qiudi sighed, and said: "I've thought about it, if the two of us can really live a good life, we don't care about using innocent children to tie each other's hearts. Besides, you have just started your career now. , It will definitely hold you back. You can tell from your busyness during this period. I don’t have that much energy by myself. I have to work and take care of my children. Resign, relying on your little money It's definitely not enough to support the three of us, so I can only get rid of the child first. Just treat it as if I owe you in this life!"

Wu Xiaotian said: "I didn't expect you to think so much. However, abortion still has side effects on your body and future childbearing. I was urging you to hurry up before, so don't take it to heart, let alone say who owes you money." Who said it." Chen Qiudi smiled and said: "I'm still young, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to have children in the future, as long as you live up to my heart." Wu Xiaotian sighed, and said: "Xiaodi, even if I have evil intentions, I can't bear to part with you! People have to grow up, right?" As he spoke, his eyes felt hot.

Chen Qiudi said: "I have already made an appointment with a gynecology clinic, and I am going to see it next Monday." Wu Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "Didn't you say that the doctor told you that it would take three months to do it? There are still about forty days left. Besides, it will be the autumnal equinox in a few days, and it is yours to catch up with it." It's birthday!" Chen Qiudi smiled and said: "I said three months to coax you. I was afraid that you would change your mind, so I said it on purpose. You don't even think about it. How can you have an abortion for three months? Of course, the sooner the better. As for my birthday, as long as you remember it, I won’t care no matter how you celebrate it.”

Wu Xiaotian said: "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me beforehand? After all, I made the child. You can't do this if you want to get angry." Chen Qiudi suddenly smiled and said, "You think of this now? Do you still need to discuss it? You're too happy!" Wu Xiaotian said: "Not necessarily. If I really want to get rid of it, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart. When we really give birth to a child next time, we must love him well!" After hearing this, Chen Qiudi couldn't help sobbing softly.Wu Xiaotian also suddenly felt uncomfortable.Chen Qiudi grabbed his hand and said, "Xiaotian, you promise me that you won't leave me, okay?!"

Wu Xiaotian said: "I promise you!" On Monday morning, Wu Xiaotian and Chen Qiudi went to the gynecology clinic early in the morning. It was a private clinic, established in the 1930s, with a history of more than 70 years, with red bricks and blue tiles, located in a secluded grove, and the surrounding environment is good.As soon as the two got out of the car, two old men came to them each holding a cardboard sign, muttering words, persuading them not to have an abortion. Chen Qiudi glanced at a sign, on which was a horrific photo of an unformed dead baby, she let out an "uh" and was about to vomit.Wu Xiaotian quickly helped her into the clinic.The two registered and waited for almost an hour before Chen Qiudi was summoned into the consulting room.

The hall of the clinic was stuffy and silent, with a dozen or so people sitting sparsely, the youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old, accompanied by his mother, but the perpetrator was not present.Wu Xiaotian couldn't take it anymore after sitting for a while. He came outside the clinic and lit a cigarette. At this moment, the two old men came over again and began to preach to him again like reciting a book.Wu Xiaotian hurriedly walked aside. The anti-abortion movement in the United States has always been strong. At the end of the last century, there was a bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, which caused a stir.At that time, Wu Xiaotian hadn't come to the United States yet, so he didn't know about it, but Chen Qiudi told her about it some time ago.

He smoked about half a pack of cigarettes outside the clinic, and it was after noon that he saw Chen Qiudi come out of the clinic with a pale face, bowing and leaning on the wall.Wu Xiaotian hurriedly threw away the cigarette, went up to meet her, and helped her into the car.She asked Chen Qiudi how he felt?Chen Qiudi said weakly: "If you are asked to do it once, you will know! That male doctor is really not human, he tosses people like a dead body." Wu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Why do you let men do this kind of work?" Chen Qiudi said angrily: "Aren't all the good and bad things done by your men?!"

After Chen Qiudi went back, she lay on the bed for more than a day.The next day was her birthday, Wu Xiaotian bought roses and stayed with her at home all day.On the third day, Chen Qiudi's health improved slightly, and he was about to go to work in the company.Wu Xiaotian asked her to rest for another two days, so as not to damage her body, she said: "Forget it, I'd better do some work in the company, and be more at ease, so as not to stay at home, lying on the bed alone, thinking wildly." Wu Xiaotian knew that she was very strong, so he stopped trying to persuade her.But during those few days, he had to drive to pick her up every day, so he arrived at the laboratory at eight o'clock in the morning.Stacy is often the first person to get busy in the laboratory. She saw Wu Xiaotian suddenly changed his work and rest time in those few days, so she couldn't help making fun of him, saying that it's no wonder the sun has risen from the coast these days up.

Not long after, Wu Xiaotian was about to publish a first-author paper in SCIENCE. Seeing that he was doing experiments well, Xu Mei arranged for him another project and asked him to apply for a fellowship in the department.If this fellowship can be applied for, not only can Xu Mei's Grant be reduced, Wu Xiaotian himself will be more flexible in terms of funding.So he got busy all of a sudden. One day, the Tony who used to work with Wu Xiaotian in the same laboratory called him and asked him to look up the materials of an experiment that Tony had done before.The two hadn't been in touch for a long time, and they chatted on the phone without realizing it.

In fact, before Tony left Xu Mei's laboratory, Wu Xiaotian didn't get along with him very well. Tony is prejudiced against those who come from China to do postdoctoral work, and Wu Xiaotian, who has just arrived, has a temper that does not pay for other people's accounts, so the relationship between the two is very ordinary.The reason Wu Xiaotian agreed to search for materials this time was mainly because Tony had helped him move when he first arrived in the laboratory. Tony's tone on the phone was smug, and he kept talking about how successful he was in that pharmaceutical company now.He has only been in the company for one year, and he has been appreciated by his boss, and his salary has increased. Now his annual salary is 100,000, not including the year-end bonus.His family is Jewish, and his parents helped him buy a house of more than 800,000 yuan in a valley near the sea. His wife also resigned and took care of the children at home.He persuaded Wu Xiaotian that after he finished his Postdoctoral work for more than a year, he might as well go to the company. In the company, not to mention that the work pressure is less than that in the school laboratory, at least in terms of economic income. quite impressive. Wu Xiaotian was a little tempted when he heard this. He thought, if his annual income was close to 100,000, then Chen Qiudi could quit his job and stay at home. At that time, they would also be able to have a child. When he went back, he talked about it with Chen Qiudi while chatting.Chen Qiudi thought for a while and said: "Although the treatment in the company is better, I think your Career is more suitable for the development in the academic field. Since you are interested in scientific research, don't think too much about the economy. The key is yourself. The job can be combined with your interests. Like you did in the company before? What was the result? So you should stop thinking about making money and concentrate on scientific research. You are 30 years old Now, I don't care how much money you can make, as long as we live a good life." Wu Xiaotian made sense after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "I never thought you would think about money. As long as I have your support, I don't believe I can't make a name for myself!" So he stopped spending time on changing his career, he was still busy every day, and later even quit smoking. Stacy is also a smoker. Seeing that he quit smoking, she asked him what tips he had.Wu Xiaotian said with a smile: "When a person has even passed the most difficult days, what else can't let go?!"
